cons, can you name 3 reasons why you oppose the public schools system?

Question

3 legitimate reasons + 1 solution.

thanks-

Answer 1

There are plenty of thoughtful reasons mentioned above. My solution: Abolish the Federal and State Departments of Education. We were fine before Jimmy Carter's Congress enacted them. All government does is create an upside-down pyramid where all the money is spent (wasted) on the bureaucrats and not enough of it makes it into the schools.



What you do, is make all lower education local. Not one dollar of state or federal taxers should go to education. Let each city/town/village pay for and run their own schools like a private business. I promise you they can do it better and cheaper than a bureaucracy can. The result is free competition. Communities where schools get the most bang for their buck will thrive. People will move to these communities for their schools. Communities that don't run their schools as well will fail at first, then after time they will copy what the better schools do and everybody wins. Free Capitalism and Free Competition is why this is the most innovative and richest country in the world, not because of big government.

Answer 2

Okay. Well first, it isn't working. Over the past fifty years, we have dropped to 14th in education, we were 2nd in the 1950's. Another reason could be the control of the school system. The fact that they get involved in personal matters of students. They are there to teach, not to dictate. Last reason, beliefs. Now I don't think we should include religion in school, but that means we shouldn't include evolution. Evolution, though not a religion, is a belief. Some parents may not want to expose their child to certain things taught in public school, and that is their right. Solution? I posted a solution a few days ago, just a plan I came up with.

Answer 3

Okay, here goes:



1) The public school system is designed so that nobody can be held accountible for failing schools.



2) People in poor areas tend to be trapped into sending their chldren to failing schools because they cannot afford to either move to someplace with good schools or send their children to a private school.



3) In California, private schools outperform public schools in virtually every objective performance measure - at half the cost per student as a public school.



Solution: School vouchers. Allow parents to send their children to the public or private school of their choice. Allow the market to create a situation where superior schools prosper and grow while poor schools lose students and eventually go out of business.

Answer 4

All the Zero-Tolerance policies are an abdication of common sense. Public officials are so concerned about not being held responsible for anything that they take no responsibility for anything.



the liberal ideology has been ingrained into public school systems to condition children to reject personal accountability and embrace dependency.



The power of teacher's unions is preventing schools from firing bad teachers so they can hire better ones to improve quality of education.



First is to break all collective bargaining agreements with teacher's unions to enable schools to hire outside the union and allow teachers to leave unions that do not represent their interests.



Free up parents to change public schools if they choose to and have their tax dollars follow their child.



Quit being spineless wimps, man up and make some decisions. I don't want policies to ensure that whatever the problem of the moment happens to be never happens again. I want intelligent administrators that can adapt to changing situations and handle the unexpected with good judgment and individual discretion.

Answer 5

For the past 20 years all I have heard on the news is how far behind our school systems are on the national news. All through the Clinton years, Bush years, and now the Obama years. Both parties have had opportunity to do something by now.



Well their solution was to throw more money into the school systems. Paying teachers more and buying more school supplies. This has not worked.

Answer 6

1. the teachers aren't really interested in teaching. they tell the kids to, "figure it out".

2.in high school, in such classes as debate and history they try pushing a liberal agenda on the kids and if the kids have conservative values they will rip you to shreds and let the other kids do the same.

3.if a child is picked on by a bully in public school they do nothing to protect them and if the kid that's picked on fights back, well that kid gets ocs, or even jail for doing so. the public school system is HORRIBLE. they're training up little socialists, or trying to anyway.





solution- if you can afford it-private school and if not, do what you an to homeschool them.

Answer 7

Substandard education

Lack of discipline

No religious instruction (ya I said it)



Solution: Private School or Home School (I support both)

Answer 8

there are no legitimate reasons to oppose an educational system. cons are only opposed because Rupert Murdoch and the like want to do away with unions, so that the rich can get a hold of that money. Rupert's agenda is fox News' agenda and Fox News' agenda is the agenda of the sheeple.

Answer 9

I am a LIBERAL and I can explain:



1) We teach our kids basic mediocre stuff. We encourage them to pass standardized tests and that's it.



2) Too much handholding and parenting. Teachers aren't doing their jobs.



3) HORRIBLE teachers that can't be fired because of tenure.



SOLUTION: Get rid of tenure

Answer 10

Waste Fraud and Abuse, Solution, make each school itemize spending to the nickle, prior to getting funding for the following school year.

Answer 11

Libs - can you name 3 federal programs that you oppose for any reason? Heck, if we can't stop promoting cowboy poetry, then no wonder we can't control spending.
